Episode 4
I watched dad as he fought hard
within
himself to see a suitable lie
Dad:how can i possibly kill my
wife,does that
make any sense to you?…he
frowned and
acted as if confused,stared hard
at me(abeg
look who ask u the question,nor
put am for
my head) and angrily walked out
of the
room,yomi just looked at Bisola
with a
deadly eyes
Yomi:you accused me of
mother’s death,i
would deal with you so bad…he
followed
suit,walking out like his father
did earlier
Me:you were too fast bisola,dad
would
suspect we are up to something
now
Bisola:am sorry bros chidi,i
couldnt hold it
anymore,dad locked this room

with yomi
to turn the room upside down…i
checked
the wall clock hanging in mum’s
room,it was
2 a.m sharp
Me:it okay,lets go inside and
sleep…we
entered my room again
Bisola:but how would dad claim
to be
looking for his passport in
mum’s room,he
wasn’t in good terms with
mummy for good
two months before her death
Me: (sitting on the bed)even
when they
were in good terms daddy never
enters
mum’s room,it always mum
visiting his
room…bisola joined me in
bed,just then
mum’s ghost appeared,if it were
possible
bisola would had entered inside
the walls of
my room
Mum:do not be afraid my
children,now go
into my room,check under the
bed,you
would see a white long and wide
envelop,you would find a
disk,play it,it
contains a video record,go now
and do not

you…she vanished
into tin air
Me:bisola lets go
Bisola: (stil looking scared)go

Me:mum’s room…she stood up
and followed
me,we met dad locking the
room’s door
again,he looked at us meanly as
he
withdraw the key from its slot
and
confirmed to see the door was
properly
locked,then walked away
Me: oh shit,what kind of man is
this
Bisola:how come we forgot
when we were
left alone in the room
Me:i just don’t know
Bisola: (walked to the door and
tried
opening it but it was locked)so
what do we
do now
Me:lets go back and sleep,any day
the
room’s door is open again,we
make use of
the opportunity
Bisola:how sure are you this
opportunity
would come again?
Me:very sure,because am sure
daddy did not
see what he was looking for so
he must try
again,so all we need do is stay
vigilant

and heard a
loud voice,it was that of my late
mother,open the door,open it
